As a child of the 80’s, I gotta say that I am more of an old school Star Wars fan.
Let me be clear. I am in no way knocking the newer Star Wars movies. Instead, I think it is probably more of a nostalgia type thing.
With that said, I have a confession to make! I may or may not have had a slight crush on Darth Vader as a little girl. (Let’s not dive deep into the inner workings of my childhood mind mmmkay?)
So, if your son is a fan of the Dark Side too. Then, please know there is zero judgement from this side of the room! 😉
If he likes to snuggle up, and kick it classic Star Wars villain style, then he will love this Darth Vader costume! Costume comes in sizes XS-XL.
And, you cannot forget Darth’s classic red Lightsaber to complete the look!
Although some of us may be more old school Star Wars fans, that doesn’t meant that we do not appreciate the epic coolness of The Force Awakens!
And, if your son is anything like mine, then he is ALL about the Force Awakens! Like legit cannot get enough of the new Star Wars movies, and they are constantly playing in the background.
The Dark Side takes it to another level in the Force Awakens. Which may have your son sent into a whirlwind of fandom with the super villain Kylo Ren! I mean, he is a pretty epic villain.
So, if your son cannot get enough of Kylo Ren, and his darkness. Be sure to get him this Kylo Ren costume! Comes in sizes Small and Large.
Oh, and because he is such a bad mamma jamma. Kylo Ren has his very own Lightsaber too!
Does you son run around the house screaming Pew Pew Pew at the top of his lungs? Does he use a pretend blaster to subdue anyone that stands in his way?
I feel you!
I mean, your husband may even get in on the Stormtrooper blaster action too. Not that my household would know anything about that though. 😉
If he prefers to be part of the Dark Side team, then check out this Star Wars The Force Awakens Stormtrooper costume. Comes in sizes S-L. And of course, don’t forget the Blaster!
